Aunt Polly Harris was theviIlage wash
erwoman. old and ugly and wrinkIed,
and she lived alone IN q little mean
house by the stream.
There, that's all right" whispered
John. as he set the box gently down on
the step. and went away. Jennie laid
the paper box on top Of the wooden
one.
Les look in the window first, she
whispered. Yes, there she is, reading
that big book. guess it's a Bible.
How old and mean everything Iooksi
Les rap, and come here and watch.
She can't run
Back they stole, hand in hand, to
give a timid knock at the rickety door.
Then, before Aunt Polly could open it,
they were peeping through the window
again
There, she's got it, and she's pulled
the big box in and shut the door, whis-
pered May
"And she's put on her glasses and is
taking the things out of our basket-O
May Winslow, sure's you're alive. she's
crying over that sugar heart! What
shall we do?"
ooh, denri what shall we do?" and
the tears blurred Jennie's bright eyes
so she could see no more.
"Come!" cried May, seizing her hand.
"Pl tell her we're sorry" Two timid
little hands opened the rickety door,
two shrinking little figures crept to-
ward Aunt Polly, and two sorrowful,
tear stained faces were uplifted to hers.
"Please, marin, we didn't mean to
make you cry" sobbed Jennie.
you little dears was it you" cried
Aunt Polly, as she wiped away their
tears and covered their rosy faces with
kisses. Then she took another sugar
heart from the bureau-drawer, and told
them why she had cried; how many
years ago, she. too, had a little girl to
love her; how she used to hang her
June boxes just as they had done; how
the fever came, and she died; and then
she showed them a crumpled, faded
box-the last one she had ever hung,
and the sugar heart that had been IN it.
"And you thought enough Of the old
woman to hang her a June bOx?" she
said, again and again, as she unpaeked
the box. "Bless your little hearts i"
"Pm so glad we did !" said May,
as they went homeward through the
darkness.
"Of all the June boxes I ever see
hung that was the queerest, " said John,
as he trudged along behind them like a
great mastiff. 81 never see folks go
right into the house afore; and III bet

Kansas Produces Nothing But Wonders.
Just now South Central Kansas is all eX-
element about inland sea bathing IN the
Salt Lake near GeUda Springs, Kansas. 1t
is said to be the only inland salt lake IN the
United States except the one in Utah, and is
pronounced by medical experts to contain
properties that make it much superior to
surf bathing.
The springs at that place are also one Of
the strange natural curiOsities of this CONT
nent, being seven IN number and each dir
ferent in mineral constituents, and are ali
situated within a space of thirty feet square.
A complete analysis of these springs has
never been made, but the excitement caused
by the cure of several cases supposed here
tOfOre to be incurable, and notably one OF
them being AddisOn's disease, for which, II
Is said by medical works, there is no cure
has caused the corporation who have recent
ly purchased the springs to employ Prof. h.
ID. y. Bailey, Professor of Chemistry Me
tallurgy and AineralOgy, in the Kansas State
University, one of the most eminent Chem
lists IN this country, to make a critical guam
titative analysis in order to determine each
mineral ingredient and the amount OF IT.
contained in these mineral waters, and as
soon as completed it will be made public.
In the meantime, the Geuda Mineral Springs
Company, of the town by that name, Is be-
ing flooded with inquiries from every state
in the Union, and it now looks as if Saratoga
and other prominent resorts are to be for
gotten in the excitement over this new Kan
sas wonder.

''You may think there's no luck in
dogs" said a well known man about
town to a Chicago Tribune reporter,
"but here's a true story that would seem
to indicate the opposite in one case at
least. Years ago when Lizzie Webster
was playing here-it was not long be-

and first went to Milwaukee to i've
she won the hearts of all the suscepti-
bic young men about town. One IN
particular was very much gone, on her,
and when she went away she bore
among her trophies one Of the prettiest
little black-and-tan terriers that ever
barked. His mistress priced him highly
and nothing was too good for him.
"A year or so ago Mrs. Nunnemacher
and her husband were travelling for
pleasure in South America. The trip
was concluded at Rio Janeiro. whence
they were to sail for Liverpool Ships
quarters were secured, the baggage
sent aboard, and Mrs. Nunnemacher
was about to install the dog in her
staterOom when the captain of the yes
sci kicked up a row over l.; the lady
declared she wouldn't sail unless she
could have her pet with her, and finally
left the ship in high dudgeon. 1t was
the luekiest thing ever happened to
her, too. The ship sailed and was
never heard Of again. There's luck in
